Chapter 10

As they raced on the highway towards Mission City, with Percy in the middle of a convoy of soldier driven vehicles with machine guns mounted ontop of each.

Percy began to go faster all of a sudden, dodging the military cars and towards the five vehicles racing towards them. She blared her horn several times in greeting, causing the Autobots to realize who she was and to maneuver themselves to behind her still going at top speeds and a tiny surge of power, she transferred the little sparkling to Ratchet, almost giving the old bot a spark attack. And she transferred Sam and Mikaela as well as the Allspark inside Bumblebee.

:Keep them safe, my friends. For as we grow closer to Mission City, my power is already working on creating a replica of Mission City, altering all the memories and records of the residents of Mission City and also teleporting them to the new Mission City so no civillians shall be harmed during this battle. But do note that I will have to recuperate, to rest and regain my strength and power so I will not be able to help a lot during this battle.: Percy said through the radios and comm links of the vehicles and autobots around her.

:My lady, what you have given us, and done for us, is more then enough. When we reach the human city, find a place and rest, do not worry about us and our human allies, we will take care of and watch out for each other.: Optimus replied.

Percy sighed. She was reluctant to do so but knew that she would need as much strength as possible in the battle to come.

After leaving Optimus behind as he fought Bonecrusher, the other Decepticons continued to follow the convoy into the now deserted city of Mission City but the Autobots and humans somehow lost them as they raced through the alleys. They finally came to a stop outside a pawn shop with Lennox racing in for a few minutes and coming back outside with radios clutched in his hands.

Lennox said, "I got shortwave radios."

"Wait. What am I supposed to do with these?"

"Well, use them! It's all we got!" Lennox said.

"This is like RadioShack dinosaur radios or something, man. I'm only gonna get 20 or 30 miles out of these things."

"Are there any aircraft orbiting the city?" At Epps words, they heard the sound of a F-22 flying over them through the city.

"F-22 at 12:00." Lennox said.

"All right, I want planes for air cover and get Black Hawks on station to extract that Cube. You got it?" Epps nodded. "Air Force has arrived! Pop smoke!"

"Raptor, Raptor, do you copy? We have you visual. Green smoke is the mark. Provide air cover and vector Black Hawks for extraction." As the F-22 began to fly around again around the tall skyscrapers, Ironhide began to transform as did Bumblebee while Ratchet and Jazz stayed in their alt forms on either side of Percy who was still weak from using a lot of her power on the way to Mission City.

"It's Starscream!" Ironhide shouted.

"Please tell me you copy." Epps said desperately.

"Back up! Take cover!" ordered Ironhide waving the soldiers near him to a further distance. "Bumblebee!" he called motioning to the scout joined him at the truck he was standing by.

Lennox paled seeing that the jet wasn't slowing down. "No, no, no! Move!"

"Back up! Back up!" shouted Ironhide as he and Bee lifted the truck at an angle.

"Retreat! Fall back!" echoed the soldiers trying to move and search for cover.

"Incoming!" bellowed Ironhide as Starscream fired several missiles. The missiles impacted with the truck sending the two Autobots flying backwards from the force of the collision and the explosion from the explosives. The shockwaves from the collisions and the Autobots also being blown back knocked all the humans off their feet in a wave of heat and debris.

Percy barely felt it because she was almost lost completely under recharge. But she could hear the soldiers - Lennox and Epps - bickering.

"What the hell was that?!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Epps.

"What do you mean, what am I talking about?" Lennox yelled, hitting his shoulder. "They shot at us!"

"F-22 pilots would never fly below buildings," he told him. "That's alien. That ain't friendly!"

They then heard a male voice come over the radio in Epps' hand just then. "Army Black Hawk inbound to your location. Over."

Epps brought the radio up to his mouth. "Alpha two seven three degrees, ten miles. November Victor, one point two clicks north."

They all jumped slightly as a shot was jired from down the street and turned to see a tank rolling towards them, crushing anything in its path completely uncaring about the vehicles and humans in the way.

They found cover just in time because Jazz and Ratchet barrelled out of a side street and straight towards the tank, dodging any obstacles in their path with expert ease.

Sam was not going to willingly leave his Guardian behind, it seemed, in the state he was currently in after losing his legs during the explosion.

Ironhide had transformed back into his alt-mode and was dodging debris and people with great skill and in order to avoid a missile that came right down the middle of the street had to do an impressive somersault. Ratchet had disappeared, probably blown away from the battle, and Jazz had sped up and transformed in a spin slip to get up on top of the tank's turret and yanked it.

"Come on, Decepticon punk!" he growled.

The Con responded to the attack by transforming but Jazz managed to kick off one of his shoulder canons before he was grabbed and thrown into a nearby building. Ironhide had by now rolled to a stop in front of the Con - Devastator - and began firing off his chest plates being careful not to hit Jazz who was now slightly in front of him and had joined in targeting the Con's chassis. Ratchet came shooting out of a side street and transformed mid flip while activating his saws and taking off one of Devastator's arms before landing neatly on his feet.

Lennox then began to order all of them into action. "Concentrate your fire!" Their combined fire sent the Con falling backwards into a shop and going still. Hopefully he would stay down.

But then, a movement out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. He turned and knew what, or who it was, instantly. "Oh f*ck! Move! It's Megatron!"

Jazz seconded the call. "It's Megatron! Retreat! Fall back!" And began firing at the Decepticon leader to try and distract him from the humans and his Autobot comrades.

"Fall back!" echoed Lennox. "Get our guys out of the way! Get out of here! Go! Get them out of the buggy! Move out!"

"We need air cover down here, now!" screamed Epps into the radio frantically as they fell back to their original position. They really needed air support if they wanted to survive this.

"That all you got, Megatron?"

"Come here, little cretin," growled Megatron, squeezing his clawed hand around the Autobot.

"You want a piece of me? You want a piece?" Jazz asked, shooting at Megatron.

"No!" Megatron began to hiss. "I want two!" and began to rip the autobot but before he could, time seemed to slow as a blast of power from the new Cybertronian fired at his face, causing Megatron to fall off the building he was on top of and to drop Jazz.

"Megatron! That is enough!" came a familiar powerful voice that boomed over the sudden silence as the Decepticons realized whom she was. Their sparks especially those of Barricade, Shockwave, and Soundwave (A/N: I know Shockwave and Soundwave weren't in the first movie) began to turn from Unicron, the Fallen, and Megatron as well as the Decepticon cause and towards the light that Primus represented.

"My children, this war has gone on for too long. You have killed your brothers, sisters, creators, and carriers. This civil war has spanned galaxies, has destroyed Cybertron and several other planets. And what are you fighting for? What is the point of all this destruction of life? You have all fallen into Unicron's grasp, but if you stop fighting, if you stop killing your fellow Cybertronians, you will be out of his grasp and brought back to my own. You can rebuild relations with neutrals and autobots, those brothers and sisters that you've had to fight each time. But do know that if you continue to fight in the name of Unicron, that your sparks will fully be destroyed, and not sent on to the Well of Sparks like the Cybertronians before today. So choose, my children, and choose wisely."

Primus - because she was in Primus mode now - finished her speech and allowed her bright sea green optics to roam over the still Decepticons. And she knew which of her children would be denying her, and which would not.

"Never!" Blackout growled.

"I am a true Decepticon!" Devastator snarled.

"I follow my lord Megatron until the end!" Starscream shouted in his nasally voice. Primus almost rolled her eyes. Starscream reminded her of Octavian.

"Decepticons! Attack!" Megatron growled. But Barricade, Shockwave, and Soundwave did not move as the loyal Decepticons moved forward as their leader commanded.

Instead, they sent a comm link to their creator and left the battle, and although they chose the side of their creator's, they still couldn't stand some Autobots so would become neutral and watch each other's backs.

Megatron growled as he saw three of his strongest Decepticons leave their faction but before he could do anything, like chase after them, he saw his goody two shoes brother coming into the street to stand beside Primus who had transformed back into her alt mode and was being flanked by the humans and other Autobots. Megatron was angry so decided to take his anger out on finally getting to destroy Optimus and to finally get the Allspark. It was time for him to retrieve it and bring it back to his master.

"Megatron!"

"Optimus!"

The fight was on.
